[quote=Anonymous]We belong to Springfield (initiation is up to $36k, not $25k as mentioned earlier.) Monthly dues are about $800 for a family.

We adore it and use it constantly. I was also hesitant, but my husband, kids, and I all golf. We each play in our respective golf leagues. The kids do swim team and do the summer camps.  We now have a ton of friends there. We do many of the social events. We are literally there 2-3 days a week, plus six days in the summer for swimming.

We easily get our money out of it.

One other thing to consider: do they charge if you walk while golfing? Springfield, and most clubs, don’t charge when walking and using a push cart, and we’ve discovered we prefer walking. Spending $200 for a nice push cart saves a lot over time. (Not all courses are designed to be walkable, so pressure test this.) We save the golf carts for when it’s above 90 degrees or playing 18 with the kids. (The kids can walk nine.)

If you all golf and want to play often, it can be great! But, as mentioned above, it is a lifestyle choice. [/quote]
